    Abstract: Despite the minimized puncture sizes and high efficiency, microneedle (MN) patches have not been used to inject hemostatic drugs into bleeding wounds because they easily destroy capillaries when a tissue is pierced. In this study, a shelf‐stable dissolving MN patch is developed to prevent rebleeding during an emergency treatment. A minimally and site‐selectively invasive hemostatic drug delivery system is established by using a peripheral MN (p‐MN) patch that does not directly intrude the wound site but enables topical drug absorption in the damaged capillaries. The invasiveness of MNs is histologically examined by using a bleeding liver of a Sprague–Dawley (SD) rat as an extreme wound model in vivo. The skin penetration force is quantified to demonstrate that the administration of the p‐MN patch is milder than that of the conventional MN patch. Hemostatic performance is systematically studied by analyzing bleeding weight and time and comparing them with that of conventional hemostasis methods. The superior performance of a p‐MN for the heparin‐pretreated SD rat model is demonstrated by intravenous injection in vivo.

    Abstract: The antibiotics generally used in farm animals are rapidly losing their effectiveness all over the world as bacteria develop antibiotic resistance. Like some other pathogenic bacteria multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ( S. Typhimurium) are also frequently found in animals and humans which poses a major public health concern. New strategies are needed to block the development of resistance and to prolong the life of traditional antibiotics. Thus, this study aimed to increase the efficacy of existing antibiotics against S. Typhimurium by combining them with opportunistic phenolic compounds gallic acid (GA), epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin and hamamelitannin. Fractional inhibitory concentration indexes (FICI) of phenolic compound-antibiotic combinations against S. Typhimurium were determined. Based on the FICI and clinical importance, 1 combination (GA and ceftiofur) was selected for evaluating its effects on the virulence factors of this bacterium. Viability of Rattus norvegicus (IEC-6) cell in presence of this antibacterial combination was evaluated. Results Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of GA, epigallocatechin and hamamelitannin found against different strains of S. Typhimurium were 256, (512–1024), and (512–1024) μg/mL, respectively. Synergistic antibacterial effect was obtained from the combination of erythromycin-epicatechin gallate (FICI: 0.50) against S. Typhimurium. Moreover, additive effects (FICI: 0.502–0.750) were obtained from 16 combinations against this bacterium. The time-kill assay and ultrastructural morphology showed that GA-ceftiofur combination more efficiently inhibited the growth of S. Typhimurium compared to individual antimicrobials. Biofilm viability, and swimming and swarming motilities of S. Typhimurium in presence of GA-ceftiofur combination were more competently inhibited than individual antimicrobials. Viabilities of IEC-6 cells were more significantly enhanced by GA-ceftiofur combinations than these antibacterials alone. Conclusions This study suggests that GA-ceftiofur combination can be potential medication to treat S. Typhimurium-associated diarrhea and prevent S. Typhimurium-associated blood-stream infections (e.g.: fever) in farm animals, and ultimately its transmission from animal to human. Further in vivo study to confirm these effects and safety profiles in farm animal should be undertaken for establishing these combinations as medications.

    Abstract: Pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli)-associated infections are becoming difficult to treat because of the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains. Novel approaches are required to prevent the progression of resistance and to extend the lifespan of existing antibiotics. This study was designed to improve the effectiveness of traditional antibiotics against E. coli using a combination of the gallic acid (GA), hamamelitannin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, and epicatechin. The fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of each of the phenolic compound-antibiotic combinations against E. coli was ascertained. Considering the clinical significance and FICI, two combinations (hamamelitannin-erythromycin and GA-ampicillin) were evaluated for their impact on certain virulence factors of E. coli. Finally, the effects of hamamelitannin and GA on Rattus norvegicus (IEC-6) cell viability were investigated. The FICIs of the antibacterial combinations against E. coli were 0.281–1.008. The GA-ampicillin and hamamelitannin-erythromycin combinations more effectively prohibited the growth, biofilm viability, and swim and swarm motilities of E. coli than individual antibiotics. The concentration of hamamelitannin and GA required to reduce viability by 50% (IC50) in IEC-6 cells was 988.54 μM and 564.55 μM, correspondingly. GA-ampicillin and hamamelitannin-erythromycin may be potent combinations and promising candidates for eradicating pathogenic E. coli in humans and animals.

    Abstract: Oxidative [3+3] cycloadditions offer an efficient route for six‐membered‐ring formation. This approach has been realized based on an electrochemical oxidative coupling of indoles/enamines with active methylene compounds followed by tandem 6π‐electrocyclization leading to the synthesis of dihydropyrano[4,3‐ b ]indoles and 2,3‐dihydrofurans. The radical–radical cross‐coupling of the radical species generated by anodic oxidation combined with the cathodic generation of the base from O 2 allows for mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of structurally complex heterocycles.

    Abstract: Sentinel lymph node biopsy with an indocyanine green-based near-infrared fluorescence imaging system avoids the shortcomings of using a radioisotope or a combination of a blue dye and a radioactive tracer. To improve surgical precision, recent research has provided a depth profile of the sentinel lymph node by fusing fluorescence and ultrasound imaging. Here, we present a combined near-infrared fluorescence and ultrasound imaging system based on a transparent ultrasound transducer. The transparent ultrasound transducer enables seamless coaxial alignment of the fluorescence and ultrasound beam paths, allowing bi-modal observation of a single region of interest. Further, we demonstrate that the sentinel lymph node of mice injected with indocyanine green can be successfully localized and dissected based on information from the bi-modal imaging system.

    Abstract: A Finderscope is a low-power telescope with a relatively large field of view. It has the same line of sight as the main telescope, helping the main telescope easily find the target. One of the differences between a telescope and a finder is that the finder has crosshairs to aid in accurately pointing at a target. You can see the crosshairs and the object together clearly through the finderscope. If you add crosshairs to the telescope, can you see it as in a finder? If so, where should you put the crosshairs?

    Abstract: Mobile and wearable healthcare electronics are widely used for measuring bio-signals using various fusion sensors that employ photoplethysmograms, cameras, microphones, ultrasound (US) sensors, and accelerometers. However, the consumer demand for small form factors has significantly increased as the integration of multiple sensors is difficult in small mobile or wearable devices. This study proposes two novel opto-US sensors, namely (1) a wearable photoplethysmography (PPG)-US device and (2) a PPG sensor built-in mobile smartphone with a US sensor, seamlessly integrated using a transparent ultrasound transducer (TUT). The TUT exhibits a center frequency of 6 MHz with a 50% bandwidth and 82% optical transparency in visible and near-infrared regions. We developed an integrated wearable PPG-US device to demonstrate its feasibility and coupled the TUT sensor with a smartphone. We measured the heart rates optically and acoustically in human subjects and quantified the oxygen saturation optically by passing light through the TUT. The proposed proof-of-concept is a novel sensor fusion for mobile and wearable devices that require a small form factor and aim to improve digital healthcare. The results of this study can form the basis for innovative developments in sensor-based high-tech industrial applications, such as automobiles, robots, and drones, in addition to healthcare applications.
